I want to tell you a story.

Last week the BBC Verify team posted a demonising report that accused Israel of abusing Palestinian medics.

The BBC Verify story relied on six separate sources. I think you should meet the people @bbcnews rely on:

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
The first is Soha Ibrahim. Her social media accounts are full of anti-Israel venom. On X she even liked posts that celebrated Oct 7 and support Hamas.

This woman is not a random bystander. She WORKS for the BBC. Image
The second was Marie-Jose Al Azzi - another BBC employee.

Here she is openly calling on Shakira to boycott Israel Image
The third was a Palestinian, Muath Al Khatib. His timeline is also no different from an anti-Israel activist - and in 2016 he even got triggered by the number of Jewish people he saw in Thailand Image
Those are the Arabic speaking journalists that the BBC Verify team TRUSTED and RELIED ON. But then the BBC also rely on three Gazan eye witnesses. - it is important you meet them as well.

One was Dr Atef Hout - here he is celebrating a rocket strike on Israeli civilians Image
Another was Abu Sabha. Here he is publicly glorifying and celebrating the terrorist Uday Al Tamimi Image
The last was Hatem Raba. He was clever enough to create a new social media profile in December so people would think he was a doctor rather than a professional political activist for the PLO.

He is a Fatah activist and another one who glorifies terrorism Image
That is it. Three Arabic journalists who support terrorism / hate Jews and three Gazans who support terrorists / hate Jews.

These are the people the BBC rely on to create the BBC Verify reports.

This is how the lies go mainstream and antisemitism spreads.

We fund this!!
BBC Verify are amateur anti-Israel hacks who couldn't verify a tomato.

A bunch of supremacist naive fools with greatly exaggerated opinions of their own ability and intelligence.

It is time the BBC STOPPED with its toxic anti-Israel agenda and accepted it has a problem.
Must add. some of this work appeared in the Mail on Sunday today - but it was put together with the help of the @CAMERAorgUK team.

If you have fallen for the PR blitz surrounding Mohsen Mahdawi, the Palestinian student who loves peace and Jewish people, then sit down and hold onto something.

You’ve been fooled. It is time to meet the real Mohsen Mahdawi Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
The @nytimes painted Mohsen Mahdawi as a saint. Vermont State Senator Becca White fell over herself to call Mohsen her friend. The PR campaign would have you thinking ICE arrested Mother Theresa.
Does nobody look behind the mask? It took me two days to find holes in the story. Image
We start with his back story. Mohsen says he was 10 when his best friend was shot in front of him in the al-Fara refugee camp. I checked the fatalities database for the time period. When he was 10 years old NO CHILDREN AT ALL were killed at his camp.
Something is wrong.

Exclusive:

Just weeks after @BBCNews is forced to take down a documentary because the narrator was the son of a Hamas official - it completely whitewashes two terrorist families - both tied to key figures in the Islamic Jihad.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
The article was written after Israel's recent strikes against the terrorists. The BBC only had one thing in mind - to demonise Israel.

So it uncritically parroted Hamas numbers - and portrayed Israel as bloodthirsty child killers - a classic antisemitic trope. Image
The article was written by Jon Donnison - an anti-Israel hack who clearly knows nothing about Gaza at all. It relies on two fathers - both grieving - and portrays the families as innocent victims of Israeli brutality...

So I want you to meet them. Image

Dear @BBCNews

Will you please just STOP FEEDING US HAMAS PROPAGANDA!!!!!!!

Will you stop PROMOTING the families of senior Hamas terrorists as innocent victims!!

A quick thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
I start with your latest junk. Written by arch Israel hater & amateur hack Jon Donnison.

And no Jon Israel did not say it 'broke the ceasefire because'. There was a timed ceasefire & it ended. Can't you even get basic facts rights?

Seems not because you just wrote this crap Image
Another BBC article (about the 1000th on Gaza) - that points out people - and yes children - die in wartime.

It puts people on our screen who are grieving parents. It is designed to create sympathy and demonise Israel.

The guy front and centre is named as Alaa Abu Hihal

The Royal Television Society has a Royal charter.
It has several US based patrons (are they happy with RTS giving an award to terrorist supporters?)

We need to understand what @RTS_media is doing when they *honour* Palestinian journalists in Gaza.

A short thread: ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Most journos in Gaza are connected to terrorist orgs. It is not hard to prove and I can use Artists for Palestine's own image to do it.

There are 4 journos in the frame here. I didn't choose them - AfP did. Here are 3 of them.
1. Bisan Owda
2. Hind Khoudary
3. Wael al Dadhouh Image
1. Bisan Owda was a PFLP activist. Although both she and the group have been busy trying to hide the evidence.... images of her at PFLP events and in PFLP colours - are still available. Image

Just want to dispose of a few of the weak and transparent excuses being put forward to defend @bbcnews @channel4news and the documentary. Here are seven.

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
1. 'It is difficult to verify news coming out of Gaza'.

If you know this then how can you justify spending £400k on a documentary knowing you will likely produce unverifiable Hamas propaganda? In other words the BBC is contradicting its own decision making.
2. 'There are no foreign journalists in Gaza - so we couldn't check the information. We did ask nicely several times if the family was Hamas.'

The information was found by a bloke living 10 miles from BBC HQ who had nothing more than a computer and motivation to find the truth. Image

We all know that @bbcnews put on a documentary that was fronted by the son of a senior Hamas official. The BBC was caught, took it down - and had its reputation shattered.

So now I want to talk about @Channel4News

Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
But I start in Gaza - before October 7.

I go back to at least 2022, when Abdullah the son of the Hamas official - must have been just 10 or 11 and was already in training.

Practicing speaking propaganda points to camera about how Gazans 'would never surrender'. Image
The Palestinians are masters in propaganda. And after the October 7 atrocities Hamas urgently needed to change the narrative - so these children were deployed. 1000s of cameras were activated and everyone became a 'journalist'.

Which brings us back to Channel 4 News
